Just because an image is on the internet or you can find it on Google, doesn’t always mean you can use it. Sometimes the work is copyright protected and sometimes you may need to provide attribution or cite where the image is from. Of course, creating your own images is always best, but if you can’t, below are some sites you can use. Thank you to Janet Chow for providing this list.

Pixabay – high resolution quality photos (skip the top row of images), vector graphics, illustrations (*this one is a keeper)

Photos for Class – This site created by Storyboard is new. All photos use Safe Search, have automatic citation (you do nothing), licensed under Creative Commons. (*Certainly a one-stop-shop.)

Even if you don’t have to attribute the work, please give the site you used credit underneath the photo or at the end of your project, story, etc.

For example:

Image Sources:

Pixabay.com

Morguefile.com

photosforclass.com

Today we are also going to look at Easybib. A free and easy way to create an MLA style bibliography. If you register you can create an account and save your work. Remember you do not need to give them all the information they ask for such as your first and last name, but you do need an email.
